again, glorified woman as a "symbol of the life of nature", as, for instance, in
"La Grenouille" and The Waterlily, perhaps the finest sculpture of a woman
produced in Sweden in the 19th century; besides which he has sculptured
masterly portrait busts.
Among sculptors at work at the turn of the century are: J. Börjeson (1836 —
1910), whose chief works are the monumental statues of Geijer in Uppsala,
the Holberg statue in Bergen, Axel Oxenstierna and Scheele in Stockholm,
Charles XI in Karlskrona, and Charles X in Malmö, his best statue, which
stamps his art with greatness, and expresses that monarch’s magnificence in
every respect. A. Lindberg (born 1839), medal engraver, studied in Paris and from
there introduced into Sweden the exquisite art of French medalurgy in a series of
characteristic works. His son, Erik Lindberg (born 1873), is equally well-known
for the French grace and Swedish solidity of his productions. E. Brambeck
(born 1843) is responsible for a modelling of Eve by the Corpse of Abel and
P. Hasselberg: The Frog.
